FourLeaf Federal Credit Union—previously known as Bethpage Federal Credit Union—is a federally chartered financial cooperative with its main office located in Bethpage, Long Island, New York. The institution serves a membership exceeding 480,000 individuals through a network of 37 branches situated throughout Long Island, New York City, and New Jersey.

Eligibility for membership extends to all U.S. residents, contingent upon approval and the establishment of a $5 FourLeaf Savings Account. Member deposits receive protection through the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) under the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.

History

The credit union originated as Grumman Hangar 2 Credit Union on October 28, 1941, initially catering to employees of Grumman Aircraft. It underwent a name change to Bethpage Aircraft Federal Credit Union in 1948 and later adopted the title Bethpage Federal Credit Union in 1974. Marking a significant milestone in 2003, it obtained the largest federal community charter in the United States, which spurred substantial growth.

In November 2024, the organization declared its intention to rebrand as FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, with this change set to take effect in early 2025.

Community involvement

FourLeaf demonstrates a strong commitment to local communities through various sponsorships and initiatives. For more than two decades, it has been the presenting sponsor of the FourLeaf Air Show (formerly known as the Bethpage Air Show) held at Jones Beach. Since 2008, it has organized an Annual Turkey Drive supporting Island Harvest. Between 2010 and beyond, the credit union held naming rights for Suffolk County Sports Park—currently Fairfield Properties Ballpark—the home venue of the Long Island Ducks. Additionally, in 2014, FourLeaf became the sponsor of the football stadium at Long Island University’s C.W. Post Campus.

Other community-focused sponsorships include partnerships with the Northwell Health Walk, Pet Adoption Program, and News12 Scholar Athlete initiatives, all reinforcing FourLeaf’s dedication to community engagement.
